Azasilanes have excellent bioactivities however asymmetric synthesis of azasilinan-6-one with a substitution at the second potion has been investigated very little. In this paper R -2- 3- methoxymethoxy propyl -3 3-diphenyl-1-tosyl-1 3-azasilinan-6-one was successfully synthesized. The chiral center of silylsulfinamide was prepared by the addition of silyl lithium to R -Davis chiral sulfinimine. Cyclization of δ-amino carboxylic acid gave 1 3-azasilinan-6-one that can be an important product to synthesize 2-substituted 1 3-azasilinan rings. Structures of all new compounds were confirmed by IR 1 H and 13 C-NMR along with the exact mass.

Introduction Nitrogen-containing heterocycles constitute structural frameworks in a plethora of pharmaceuticals and alkaloids and are essential components of the pharmacophore 2 3 6 . In recent years there has been an interest in the preparation of heterocycles in which one of the ring carbons has been replaced by silicon atoms. A few bioactive silicon-nitrogen heterocycles have thus far been synthesized and screened for bioactivity. For example the dopamine receptor antagonist silahaloperidol 1 Figure 1 displays improved selectivity compared to haloperidol. Furthermore its metabolic fate in human liver microsomas does not produce a silicon analogue of the neurotoxic metabolite HPP Hereditary pyropoikilocytosis which is responsible for the severe side effects of haloperidol 4 . Other heterocyclic .
